"can you give me your number?" gwilym lift his phone up with one hand, while the other was holding the steering wheel.

joe nodded his head and took the phone away from his hand. before he could click on anything, rami perks up from the passenger seat.

"hey, i want joe's number too!" rami threw his hand back with his phone in his hand.

joe let out a chuckle before taking it.

he insert his number in to both of their phones before giving it back to them.

-

"thank you for taking me home, gwil, rami." joe smiled as he got out of the car and closed the door.

rami rolled his window down. "you're welcome dude. are your parents at home?"

joe shook his head. "they're still at work.."

rami gave a nod.

"take care of yourself, joe." gwilym pointed to his bruised stomach.

joe let out a laugh. "i will." he said before walking down the pavement of his house and waving to the car.

gwilym and rami waved back and shouted, "bye!" before they both drove off.

joe got inside his house and locked the door. he walked to the kitchen and grabbed an ice bag out of the fridge before walking upstairs to his room.

he grabbed a piece of clothing and lay down on his bed. gently, joe pressed the ice bag against his stomach over the clothing.

he stayed like that for a few seconds, barely moving. then joe felt his phone buzzed.

unknown:

joe, it's gwilym

joe read the text and put gwilym's contact on his phone before going back to the messages.

gwilym:

here's ben's number.

then his phone buzzed again, and what supposedly to be ben's number, was on his screen.

it buzzed again.

gwilym:

you said you're colorblind but you have synesthesia, right? yeah, ben would definitely find you even more interesting.

joe smiled before typing back.

joe:

thank you, i hope so.

then he added ben's number to his contacts. once he was done, he clicked on the message button.

joe took a deep breath before started typing.

joe:

ben, i need to tell you something.

his thumb hovered above the 'send' button. joe pressed his lips together before deleting everything he just wrote.

he threw the ice bag beside his bed before hugging his pillow.

joe didn't know if it was the pain in his stomach, or the ache in his heart when he couldn't press 'send' button, but either way, he cried.
